Palm Bay:

“Reggie Nelson, Deanne Bell, and Joe Cohen…do you know what all of these famous people from Palm Bay have in common? They got out of there as soon as they could. Don’t get us wrong, Palm Bay is pretty; it’s on the water, how could it not be? But as far as things to do, well, it just doesn’t have them.

Unless your idea of a good time is a fancy fast food dinner, then Palm Bay has you covered, with some of the most fast food joints per capita out of anywhere in the state. If you’re looking for active life options, arts, or nightlife other than a 2 a.m. drive thru, you might do better somewhere outside of Palm Bay. Anywhere, really.”

Titusville:

“Titusville is known as “Space City, USA” for its proximity to the Kennedy Space Center and its prevalence of aerospace companies, but, as cool as space is, it’s not enough to keep Titusville exciting. Especially for anyone under the age of 35.

Not only did Titusville have one of the lowest percentages of young people, but it also had some of the fewest decent restaurants and some of the most fast food joints per capita.”
